  • Chapter 7. Cities of the Russian North in the Context of Climate Change
    ? chapter seven Cities of the Russian North in the Context of Climate Change Oleg Anisimov and Vasily Kokorev Introduction In addressing Arctic urban sustainability, one has to deal with the com- plex interplay of multiple factors, such as governance and economic development, demography and migration, environmental changes and land use, changes in the ecosystems and their services, and climate change.1 While climate change can be seen as a factor that exacerbates existing vulnerabilities to other stressors, changes in temperatures, precipitation, snow accumulation, river and lake ice, and hydrological conditions also have direct implications for Northern cities. Climate change leads to a reduction in the demand for heating energy, on one hand, and heightens concerns about the fate of the infrastruc- ture built upon thawing permafrost, on the other. Changes in snowfall are particularly important and have direct implications for the urban economy, because, together with heating costs, expenses for snow removal from streets, airport runways, roofs, and ventilation spaces underneath buildings standing on pile foundations built upon perma- frost constitute the bulk of a city’s maintenance budget during the long cold period of the year. Many cities are located in river valleys and are prone to fl oods that lead to enormous economic losses, inju- ries, and in some cases human deaths. The severity of the northern climate has a direct impact on the regional migration of labor. Climate could thus potentially be viewed as an inexhaustible public resource that creates opportunities for sustainable urban development (Simp- 142 | Oleg Anisimov and Vasily Kokorev son 2009). Long-term trends show that climate as a resource is, in fact, becoming more readily available in the Russian North, notwith- standing the general perception that globally climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity in the twenty-fi rst century.

  • State of Uncertainty Educating the First Railroaders in Central Sakha (Yakutiya)
    State of Uncertainty Educating the First Railroaders in Central Sakha (Yakutiya) Sigrid Irene Wentzel Abstract In July 2019, the village of Nizhniy Bestyakh in the Republic of Sakha (Ya- kutiya), the Russian Far East, was fi nally able to celebrate the opening of an eagerly awaited railroad passenger connection. Th rough analysis of rich eth- nographic data, this article explores the “state of uncertainty” caused by re- peated delays in construction of the railroad prior to this and focuses on the eff ect of these delays on students of a local transportation college. Th is college prepares young people for railroad jobs and careers, promising a steady in- come and a place in the Republic’s wider modernization project. Th e research also reveals how the state of uncertainty led to unforeseen consequences, such as the seeding of doubt among students about their desire to be a part of the Republic’s industrialization drive. Keywords economic development, education, infrastructure supply, planning, railways, Russia, uncertainty, youth When I came to the village of Nizhniy Bestyakh in April 2015 to do fi eldwork, I happened to be the only guest at Anya’s guesthouse. “What are you doing here?” she asked. “I want to study the railroad development and its eff ects on the people,” I responded. Amused, yet skeptical, Anya replied, “I am afraid you won’t fi nd anything to study here, the railroad is not really working. Everybody prepared for the opening, the young got educated and now . nothing.”1 While the existence of railway connections may be taken for granted in some parts of the world, few places today off er the opportunity to observe the in- stallation of a new railway line.

    How to use the Atlas The Atlas has two map sections The Main Section shows the location of Russia’s intact forest landscapes. The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes. The reader should not expect to see a city like Moscow listed. Villages that are insufficiently known or very small are not listed and appear on the map only as nameless dots. If you are looking for an administrative region Go to the Index on page 185 and find the list of administrative regions. The numbers refer to the map on the inside back cover. Having found the region on this map, the reader will know which index map to use to search further. If you are looking for the big picture Go to the overview map on page 35. This map shows all of Russia’s Intact Forest Landscapes, along with the borders and Roman numerals of the five index maps. If you are looking for a certain part of Russia Find the appropriate index map. These show the borders of the detailed maps for different parts of the country.
